Hypertension Morning Pressure - Danger Zone
Before my Cure, Hypertension Morning Pressure was my most serious concern – during the morning, my Blood Pressure was the highest of all my daily readings – Between 6 AM and Noon, blood pressure is usually elevated in many individuals - one reason given - is due to the human body's Circadian Rhythms - these are physical, mental and behavioral changes that happen in a 24-hour cycle - responding to light and darkness - that effect our sleep/wake pattern - my sleep pattern definitely had an effect on my morning blood pressure - it was lower when I had a good sleep's than when my sleep was not so good. Wikipedia explains Circadian Rhythms - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circadian_rhythm
When I was on medication, my doctor tried to deal with my Hypertension Morning Pressure by changing the scheduling of my medication from evening to at least 2 hours before taking my morning blood pressure reading - I would take my medication about 6AM and my blood pressure reading at 8AM - this change from evening to morning, lowered my morning Pressure and my Pulse Rate:
Before this change of scheduling, I had been taking my medication in the evening at 8:00 o'clock:
After I stopped taking medication, I had to deal with Hypertension Morning Pressure on my own - I relied totally on my personal program that is on this website. The first few months without medication I noticed that my morning pressure was constantly higher than when I was on medication - I had been WARNED that if I suddenly stopped taking my medication (Atenolol)- that I might experience some extreme conditions - I did actually experience much higher morning pressures and also afternoon and evening pressure readings were much higher.
But I knew that if I faithfully followed my personal program as outlined on this Website, I would keep my Morning Blood Pressure out of the Danger Zone - and would lower the afternoon and evening pressure readings as well. There were times when I looked at my high readings and would think that maybe I should go back to medication - that was Fear challenging my Faith - but realizing that I did not have a spirit of Fear but a Spirit of Faith which will prevail every time - I threw the idea of medication out of my mind. There were some things going on at night that I needed to checkout - the difference between my blood pressure before going to bed and my Hypertension Morning Pressure getting out of bed - it looked something like this:
There were days when both Nights and Mornings Readings were Higher then Lower, alternately. There are many factors known and unknown that constantly change the blood pressure readings - in fact, I have checked my pressure at intervals of one minute - 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 minutes - I saw changes that made me wonder what in the world was happening - I was able to discover some direct affects on some readings - examples:
I have noticed that all of the activities of my Senses, External and Internal Environments can determine my blood pressure at any moment - the time it takes for my blood pressure to recover, depends on the particular influencing activity.
